  2. The official religion of Morocco is Islam and you will need to dress conservatively to respect the local culture.
  3. Morocco is generally safe but pickpocketing is common. Women can expect catcalling. Read these important tips.
  4. The Moroccan Dirham is a closed currency and cash is king. So, make sure to get enough notes out of the ATM!
